Senate Republicans had no appetite for discussing how to thwart President Obamas executive orders on immigration during the conferences weekly lunch, according to a source familiar with the meeting.
Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah) and Senator David Vitter (R., La.) tried to broach the topic, but were ignored.
At different times, Lee and Vitter stood up and tried to begin a discussion about what the plan was and asked leadership about what their strategy was to deal with the spending bill and respond to Obama executive amnesty, and the reply was always an effort to try to change the subject to the ozone rule from the EPA or some other issue, and it was just bizarre, the source said.

Wait and see what the numbers are. Obama may wish ne never went the unilateral route :-)
I think I’m done with politics, after today.
Let’s see... bird-watching? Feeding feral cats in parking lots?
Welcome to the club.
Although I will vote for Cruz if he gets the nom...whichever party that may be.
After that I’m all out of optimism.
In the same way that Mitch McConnell caves in to Obama, Republican Senators like Mike Lee and David Vitter cave in to Mitch McConnell.
Why can’t the Republican Conservatives in Congress at least put up a fight? Why did Senators Lee and Vitter simply allow themselves to be ignored at the Republican luncheon meeting?
The time has come for Ted Cruz and his Conservative colleagues to take it, if not to the streets, at least to the microphones.
OMG. Sometimes I wonder about people. Even Cruz had said not to shut the gov. down.
Elizabeth Warren/ Valerie Jerret will be the next president.
I’d like to see Lee, Vitter, Cruz and others join a third party like IAP(Independent American Party).
They need to be flushed.
The new Congress isn’t seated until January 2015. Things may be a little bit better then.
This is how the Republic dies. There is no engaged opposition party to rampaging demofascists.
The GOPe want amnesty. They want socialized medicine. The big donors want it so main street goes under the beltway GOP party bus.
ACTION ALERT! LET’S ROLL!!!

Grow a pair! Stop caving! Shout it out RIGHT NOW that Obama will close down the government if we don’t allow him to BREAK OUR LAWS! He will OWN it! Stop letting this tyrant destroy our laws, our jobs and our way of life! Stop giving the MSM your power. Just say NO!

the rino/gop-e plan is to win and take over the existing structure and rule the way obama is now, citing obama as precedent. they let him do this, now they will do it.
“A**holes. Hillary is going to SUCK as a president, but she WILL be the next president because the GOP turned their back on the midterm election results.”
That is entirely possible.
About a year ago I nicknamed her “The Nail.”
Because as far as I’m concerned if she makes it to the WH she will be the last nail in this nation’s coffin.
Congress is not yet, but soon will be Republican-controlled.
Republicans obviously do not control the Presidency.
The courts are the third branch. I am not sure that Republicans control there.
So, Republicans soon will control one-third of the federal government.
Don’t be confusing ‘em with facts, their minds are already made up.
The gang of GOPe a-holes needs to be sent to the glue factory.
To my critics and mockers: How d'ya like me NOW?
these things take time.
